The current fighting has all concentrated on the first acropolis.
The remaining more than 7,000 beggars used very simple siege equipment to fight their way up the city wall.
There are only three thousand soldiers in this acropolis.
Although there were only 3,000 people, because the structure of the Acropolis was more refined, more materials could be stored, and the soldiers had a lot of room for maneuver, it actually caused the greatest damage to these 7,000 people.
It¡¯s just that there were so many enemies that they attacked us several times.
¡°If it hadn¡¯t been for the proper command of the captain on the battlefield, I¡¯m afraid we would have fallen into the most brutal melee.
Even so, the casualties on both sides are increasing significantly.
The Acropolis where Lu Zhengxiang is located is still five miles away from here, but through clairvoyance, he can still clearly see the tragedy inside.
The captain in charge of the command inside is the one who just chatted with him on the beacon tower, his name is Gu Qinglong.
Although Lu Zhengxiang told Gu Qinglong that he must retreat to himself if nothing could be done, but looking at the tragic situation now, Gu Qinglong might not be able to come back.
Because in addition to these seven thousand people, there are six to seven thousand elite begging soldiers coming slowly from outside.
These people are definitely not enough to capture the Acropolis where Lu Zhengxiang is.
After all, there are twenty or thirty enemy towers, forts, etc. ahead of here.
In addition, this Acropolis is the largest one recently, with a total of 4,000 people, plus the 2,000 people brought by Lu Zhengxiang, it is not as large as 20,000 people, and it is impossible to win.
But Lu Zhengxiang didn't dare to rescue Gu Qinglong at all.
Because once he leaves the Acropolis, even if all four thousand of his men attack, they will be killed by Qiyan¡¯s elite cavalry and no one will be left.
Facing the beggars with powerful cavalry, Dakang¡¯s frontier defenders could only defend, in order to hope to kill them.
As Lu Zhengxiang watched, his heart was bleeding.
¡°Every one of the casualties there¡ no, all the sergeants who were killed or injured today were brought out by him personally.
Seeing that at least seven or eight people were going to be killed or injured, Lu Zhengxiang felt that he and the beggar had reached the point where they would never stop fighting.
However, not only could Lu Zhengxiang not be able to rescue Gu Qinglong, but when the enemy came to attack the acropolis, he would continue to retreat with a thousand men.
??????????? Retreating all the way to the final, most powerful city, is where he can no longer take a step back.
Because behind that is Datong City!
Everyone has no way out.
But no matter how dangerous the situation was, Gu Qinglong was indeed Lu Zhengxiang's most trusted general. He firmly controlled the situation and used various methods to kill all the enemies.
The area around the Acropolis has been covered in blood.
The voices of both sides have already been shouted hoarse.
The enemy troops that had been attacking for two hours could no longer hold on. There were only more than a thousand people left. They didn't know what was going on and fled back with a bang.
There were two of them. In almost a dozen breaths, these people all staggered back to the elite troops who had arrived more than a hundred feet away from the Acropolis.
It seemed that two groups of cavalry rushed out and surrounded the group of beggars, but then they stopped and let the beggars continue to retreat.
coming!
Lu Zhengxiang clenched his fists, his teeth almost bleeding.
These 6,000 or 7,000 cavalrymen looked like the best among the best. They didn¡¯t even need to go into battle. As long as 3,000 people were dispatched, the first acropolis, which had already suffered heavy casualties, would completely fall.
What awaits Gu Qinglong and the others is a cruel fate.
Lu Zhengxiang hated himself for being weak, and hated that the troops he led were not as good as the elite begging soldiers.
But Gu Qinglong over there did not have such melancholy feelings.
He deliberately came to a high ground near the Acropolis, smiled vigorously and waved to Lu Zhengxiang.
Gu Qinglong knew that Lu Zhengxiang could see him and see his movements clearly.
This can be considered a farewell!
but!
At this moment, the elite cavalry who were advancing slowly suddenly stopped.
Then they changed from the front army to the rear army, and from the rear army to the front army, escorting the group of noble generals walking in front, and slowly moved back.
"!?"
Lu Zhengxiang, Gu Qinglong, and all the Dakang sergeants around them felt baffled.
???, don¡¯t lose the prestige of our frontier troops! Lest the bastards from the Imperial Guard laugh at us for being soft-footed shrimps, do you understand? "
"Here!"
A group of lieutenants and marquis bowed in unison.
Although they were inevitably very nervous, they still felt a trace of indescribable excitement for the upcoming battle.
"If soldiers don't fight and experience one or two major battles, what memories will they have when they get old in this life?" How boring is such a life?
¡¡
Xiong Wenqing is also busy.
On the one hand, he sent a letter to the Ministry of War, Wenyuan Pavilion and the Imperial Palace, and then led his five thousand direct cavalry troops to Taiyuan City.
He has been training these five thousand cavalry. They often compete with the Forbidden Army and have various training sessions. In his opinion, they are no less elite than the Forbidden Army.
Xiong Wenqing didn¡¯t waste any time.
He did not wait for the documents from the emperor and the elders, but chose to receive them on the way.
The military situation is urgent.
This time, the six major tribes rushed over and overwhelmed the defense line of the Great Wall of Datong. In fact, Xiong Wenqing couldn't believe it.
"Compared to the northwest and northeast, there are many Qiyan tribes and their power is very scattered.
But compared to the Qiyan tribe, the Great Wall defense line in Datong is the best in the world.
The hundreds of densely packed enemy towers, forts, acropolis, etc. within the Great Wall alone are enough to consume the entire force of any Qiyan tribe, and they can't even defeat half of them.
Even if it is now heard that a large army is approaching, even if several Qiyan tribes gather, at least 80,000 to 100,000, it is far from enough to break these fortresses.
Unless the Qiyan people are crazy, they will be willing to tear down these fortresses and attack Taiyuan City.
But that¡¯s the fact.
"The smoke at the Beacon Tower is absolutely not a joke. Anyone who dares to lie about this kind of military report will have his whole family punished, and there will be no humane feelings at all."
Then the generals stationed in Datong City and the prefect jointly sent flying pigeon letters to Taiyuan, Gyeonggi Yamen, and the imperial court. There was also a certification process.
Therefore, Xiong Wenqing knew that this unlikely thing had indeed happened.
And there is also this time the Calda Speed ??Ministry who came to the DPRK!
They just went back two months ago!
What is going on here?
Xiong Wenqing had some worrying guesses in his mind, but these did not prevent him from flying towards Taiyuan City, which was more than 900 miles away.
During the war, the governor of Gyeonggi sat in command in Taiyuan City. That was an iron rule.
Xiong Wenqing must reach the front line in order to stabilize the morale of the army and deploy troops and generals according to the development of the war situation to protect the peace and prosperity of the country.
Even if he dies in battle, Xiong Wenqing will only die at his post and will never flinch at all! ! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
